Frequently asked questions

Q. How is Running Pace Calculator calculated?

Pace = Time (min) ÷ Distance (km) — Pace comes out in decimal minutes, so the seconds part is shown separately — 5.5 min/km means 5:30 per kilometre.

Q. Can you walk through an example?

With Distance (km) 10, Time (min) 55, the answer is Pace 5.5min/km.

Q. What do I need to enter?

Enter Distance (km), Time (min). The result recalculates as you type, and an empty box counts as zero.

Q. How much does the answer move if I change a number?

Changing only Distance (km) moves the answer to Distance (km) 5 → Pace (min/km) 11 and Distance (km) 20 → Pace (min/km) 2.75. The table below lays out five steps.

Q. How are the numbers rounded?

Money is shown to the nearest whole unit, percentages to one decimal place and everything else to two. What you see is rounded; the calculation itself carries the unrounded value forward.
